Looking for Songs

[Carthage]

We have this project in English where we have to select 4 time periods of our life and select a song to play as part of a presentation. I have selected four time periods as below, as well as descriptions of them.

PAST: Birth, sort of seeing things for the first time, beginnings, the formations of life.

YOUTH: Quiet, maybe a little lonely, but really comfortable over all.

PRESENT: Invigoration, excitment, really beginning to grow up. Starting to really see the light and plan my future.

FUTURE: Don't worry about this, but keep reading for an explanation.

Now I've hit a little road block. It seems I have an incredibly poor knowledge of current music, and I can't think of any songs to use at all. So for all you music buffs out there, I need some songs that express the ideas stated in the first 3 (I've got something for the last one). This would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have songs that you like that represent those time periods? theres a myriad of songs out there.

 

[NicAuf]

I is confused?

 

[Ria]

Is this something like you are asking for one of the options^^^?

If not, will see if I can come up with anything else...


You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I'm going

You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way

And just when I
I thought I'd lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
That's when I heard you say

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow
And despair

And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
When I'm weary
Well I know you'll be there
[Footprints In The Sand
Cause I can feel you
When you say

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair
Oh, I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

(choir)

When your heart is full of sadness and despair
I'll carry you
When you need a friend

I promise you
I'm always there
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints
In the sand

How about 'John Lennon - Imagine' for the youth period. I think it captures the overall feel your looking for.

I'd post a youtube to the song, but the site seems to be down at the moment.

Eh... Birth Creed - Arms Wide Open...

Oh yes, that's a good one to do actually - good suggestion there.

Oh right, it wasn't just me then - I tried to post a song from youtube this morning, but wasn't happening. Site is down then, not my computer having probs as before.

I listen to symphonies and concertos, not songs.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Honestly, you should listen to songs. Most people can directly relate to some, and songs help build character.

Well personally I think it would depend on what you remember from that period in your own life.
